Two week ago, I was on Christie's Computer and i was on Myspace and looking stuff up for myspace. Christie kept asking me to do some things, so i left myspace stuff up for we i came back it would be up. Well she kept bugging me, of course, and when i got finished with it. It started go really really slow.
Last week, My future dad-in-law is getting tired of the computer because of the slowness. He ran virus scan and it had at two viruses on there.
What can i do to fix it? Or at least make it faster so me and christie's dad can get on the highspeed internet?

Ok big. Follow along. Download Avast home. Google search Avast. Im advising this because its free. You must register with an email address to obtain a liscense key. but its free for home use. Run the virus scan. Make sure the software is updated as the .DAT files need to be resent. Use the quarintine feature if the scanner comes up with anything. Myspace is a sespool of viruses. This avast will also protect you from any incoming viruses. If you wish to pay for a suite then buy mcafee at walmart (1 yr sub for 25.00$) This will take care of the vires. If the pc is still running slow then more than likely the virus is in the registry. You can browse the Add or remove programs list and uninstall anything that looks funny ex. ( click now or save now or discount this or that) these things can make a pc run slow as the client runs a svchost in the background and boggs down provessor speed. Then download Ad Aware its free as well and it works great on tracking cookies. Another type of mild virus. Or you can pay for postage and send the hard drive to me and i will reload it. Or you can call me sometime and i will remote into you're pc and help ya... let me know?
